It was just after five pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Ray and me were seated talking about the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Grimstone End and put the wrong fuel in a diesel elegant Austin Mini Cooper hire car in error. She was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could find the lady quickly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases very expediently.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Grimstone End - Wrong Fuel in Car Grimstone End

I had appreciated a great afternoon golfing during my holiday and felt contented with myself the following day as I was on the way to aid a young family who were holidaying in Grimstone End. They had broken down after filling diesel in their light blue Saab 9-5, and were about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the gal chastising her husband for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this situation goes on all the time in Suffolk and that it's nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still got an earful by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyways, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted good-bye and wondered what my missus would tell me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
